Leeks because of its high taste, rich in a variety of nutrients, is a common delicacy on our table, want to eat on their own planted leeks, in the process of cultivation should pay attention to what problems?

One, planing roots

As the growth of leeks depends mainly on the transformation of the leek root system and plant storage of nutrients, so it is not advisable to harvest leeks after planting the growing period, which is conducive to the accumulation of nutrients, cultivate strong seedlings, and lay the foundation for high yield. Before the winter solstice, most of the leaves of leeks have dried up, and the nutrients return to the roots before cutting the roots. When shoveling the roots, use a shovel or spade to remove the leaves from the top of the leek, and then gently plow it to turn out the leek roots. Then use a hook to break up any soil that clumps on the roots to prevent root damage and protect the fibrous roots. Dried leek roots should be cut, then straightened and tied into bowl sizes, placed in baskets and left in the house until they go into the cellar. When placed, leek roots covered with plastic film to prevent frostbite and water loss.

Two, site selection and cellar construction

Leek cultivation leek cellar should be built in a compact structure, high terrain, low water table, heavy soil. The size of the leek cellar is determined by the leek planting area. General 667 square meters of field planting leeks, digging a bottom area of 25 square meters, depth of 0.8 ~ 1.0 m cellar, leek cellar to the south, with four vertical walls. The bottom of the cellar should be loose and level. The top of the cellar should be made of concrete or wooden poles spaced 50 ~ 60 cm . 1 ~ 2 wooden poles should be used under each beam to support the cellar beams. The straw should be arranged closely, and then a layer of woven straw curtains should be laid on top of the straw, and finally a layer of straw curtains should be laid on top of the straw, and then a layer of heating material should be stacked evenly. Generally use farmyard fertilizer as the heating material, the thickness of the heating material is required to control about 20 cm.

Three, drainage

Leeks root into the cellar before preparing nutrient mud. The preparation method is to pour hot water of about 50 ℃ into the basin, and then put the fertile sludge into it and stir it into a paste. Then put the tied leek roots into the pot, remove them after smearing the soil, and start scratching the roots from the side near the wall. When rooting, try to keep the "leek mouth" on the same plane and squeeze between each leek root so that the harvested leeks turn yellow. Row to the pit, leaving a diameter of about 50 ~ 60 ℃ m rootless space, easy to enter the pit to check the growth of leeks and harvesting, and then the bare leek roots in the open space with the soil buried. Leek roots into the cellar, cover the cellar door.

Four, leek cellar management

Leek root sprouting period in the cellar within 10 days. The temperature in the leek cellar should be maintained between 9 ℃ and 12 ℃. When the leek sprouts grow to 5 ~ 6 cm, water them once. If the bottom of the pit is sand, easy to leak, the amount of watering should be more, to sink the roots slightly higher than 3 cm degrees; on the other hand, if the bottom of the pit is a strong water retention of clay, the amount of water should be less, the depth of watering should be flush with the root system, the plant.

The above is about leek cultivation related skills, for everyone to understand and learn and reference, I hope to help you.
